Entirely believable spoof where the bunch of skeevy crooks currently in government are concerned.

First ride of the year, and I've treated myself to a heated jacket and gloves. For the first time in a long time, I arrived without any white fingers. Very happy with them.

Macna. Not a brand I've heard of before, but they seemed to be the best for what I wanted - not too bulky and the batteries they use (if not connected to the bike) are split into three to spread bulk.

Which model. There seem to be a few to choose from.

I've been using the RST heated gloves for the last 3 or 4 years and they've worked well, although I've not had them in the rain. RST have updated them several times and they're now called the Paragon 6 but they use the same battery as mine.

My first pair of heated gloves, so hard to review them, but they don't feel any different to a pair of winter gloves, fit under my jacket sleeve easily and have a decent visor wipe on both hands.

My ,"Keis" heated inner gloves are still working and I've had them over 10 years now

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ELEMENT-TEC...s%2C162&sr=8-5


£69.99

I always buy one size larger gloves so I can use inner gloves.

I do have to run the wires inside my Motorcycle jacket but when not in use my jacket has Velcro wrist straps which I just pin the leads under and I don't notice the wires

The fact there's "A Highway to Hell" and only "A Stairway to Heaven" says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers.
